*********************************
True Love: Part One by: Aphrodite
It is with true love as it is with ghosts,
many have heard of it,
but few have ever really seen it.
Queen Serenity ran as far and as fast as she could, trying not to slip
on
the marble that covered the palace floors. She hugged her daughter
closer
as she reached the the door to the teleportation room. The little baby,
Princess Serenity, crying softly, not knowing what was going on. Queen Serenity said silently to her daughter, and as
if the little 6 month old could, she stopped crying.
"Queen Serenity you can not run away from me!!!!" Beryl yelled, while
blasting her with dark energy. Serenity shielded her daughter from the
blast, falling to her knees from the pain. Serenity reached the
telaportation
tube, sending the princess away from danger.
"Nooooooo!!! Where did you send her?!?!?! I need that little moon
brat!!!"
Beryl screamed.
"You will never find her, she can be on any planet in the universe!"
Serenity said, though in alot of pain, she tried to look as if the blast
was nothing at all.
"*You* will tell me where she is. You have nothing now, no daughter, no
silver crystal, no kingdom!!!!!"
"The only way you can ever use the crystal is with moon royal blood, so
the crystal is useless to you. I will not let you use my daughter to
carry out your evil plans!!!!!"
"Fine, suit your self!," and with another powerful blast of energy,
Beryl left.
Luna and Artemis, who just awoke from the attack before, saw the last
blast of energy that Beryl had directed at their Queen, rushed to her
side, knowing that it was too late to save her.
"Queen Serenity!!! Oh, please don?t die, we need you!!! Did Beryl take
the
princess with her??" Luna said through tears.
"N....no, my........daughter is.........safe. Find her,
and...........the
crystal, she.......is.....the only......one who
can.......make........things
....better again......."
"Where is she now????" asked Artemis, afraid that their queen would die
any second now.
"I.......i......sent ......her.......too..........." and with that, she
died, never revealing where her daughter was sent too.
**********************
The baby Princess Serenity was sent to Earth, on the doorstep of Lady
Carmella. The Lady Carmella was *very* wealthy, but did not have a
husband, or children, and now it was impossible for her, since she was
already 46 years old. One of her many maids, found the baby while
opening
the door to sweep the doorstep.
"My my, what do we have here? Where did you come from? I better bring
you
inside and ask Lady Carmella what we?re going to do with you......."
said
Sarah, the Head Maid of the house.
"Good Morning Lady Carmella. I found this dear child on the doorstep
just
a few moments ago, what would you like me to do?"
"Bring her over here.......it is a her I presume?"
"Yes, and a beautiful little girl she is."
As Lady Carmella held the little baby, she couldn?t help but want to
keep her. She looked at her big blue eyes that sparkled and looked
around
in curiousity, her blonde hair that was soft like silk, and her delicate
little hands moving around. Lady Carmella looked at the baby, then at Sarah and
said,
"We will keep this child, I will raise it as my own, I want the best for
her, and that means the best clothes, the best teachers, the best food,
and the best enviroment for her to grow up to be perfect."
"Yes My Lady, I will sent some people out right now for some baby food
and clothes."
**************************
On the Moon Kingdom.....................
"Oh no!!!!!!! We came too late!!!!" Sailor Mars cried. (a.n. remember,
these are the older senshi, the younger one like Rei, Ami, Lita and them
are still babies, the same age as Princess Serenity.)
The eight senshi arrived to find ruins in the place of what use to be
the
most wonderful kingdom in the universe.
"It?s not your fault, if we just had a little more security, maybe none
of this would have happened........." Artemis said softly.
"Do you guys know where the princess is right now?" asked Sailor Venus
"No, the Queen was about to say which planet before.............
before..........." Luna couldn?t even finish her sentence, she burst
into
tears. Artemis tried to comfort her, but he felt the same way, and not
helping her feel better by much.
"When I find Beryl, she?s going to pay!!!" Sailor Jupiter said through
clenched teeth. Sailor Uranus agreed with Jupiter.
"First of all you guys, we need to find the Princess, she?s the only
person that can save the universe, or destroy it if Beryl gets to her
first and convinces her to help her. So what we should do now is go to
our own repected planets and look for the princess. Luna and Artemis, I
have already contacted the King and Queen of Earth, they have agreed for
you two to stay at the palace and search for the princess on earth. We
will keep in contact with each other at all times, if any of us find the
princess, we hold a meeting immediatly, is everything understood??"
Sailor Mercury said. Everyone nodded, speechless at how she could come
up with all that in such little time.
************************
Eight years passed, and everyone was slowly losing hope of ever finding
the princess, even Beryl.
Lady Carmella named gave her the name Serena because on the blanket that
she was wrapped in, it had the name Serenity embroided on it, but
thinking that it was too long, she cut it to Serena. Though Serena had
the best in everything, she couldn?t help but be bored of her routine
like life. Everyday she would wake up, take abath, get dressed, eat
breakfast, go to her daily scheduled classes which were a total bore,
eat lunch, take a etiquette class, go for a walk by herself, come home,
eat dinner, take another bath, and go to sleep. Her life was pretty much
predictable. Her favorite part of the day was always the so called
"walks" that she goes on. She never goes for walks, unless you count
walking to the archery place or the stable an actual walk. She would
always either be horse back riding, not the girly way, or practice her
archery. Since she did either one practically everyday, she was quite
skilled at both. Horse back riding always made her smell a little
different, and a little dirty, but when the maids and Lady Carmella saw
her after her walk, they just assumed that she tripped or something, and
would only get scolded for being careless.
Eight more years passed, and slowly, each of the senshi began to stop
looking for the princess because of their old age. They passed being a
sailor senshi to each of their daughters, training them to use their
powers, and teaching them about the moon kingdom, the princess, and the
evil Queen of the NegaVerse, Beryl. Luna and Artemis, still on Earth
and
still looking for the princess, became the advisors of the King and
Queen.
Lady Serena now sixteen years old, was quite beautiful, and many lords
had already asked for her hand in marriage, but she had refused them
all,
saying that she didn?t have a *special* feeling for them. Lady Carmella
understood, and did not force her to marry, or pick some one, she had
decided that when that it was really Serena?s choice, not hers. Serena
was also told about how she was found, and didn?t really blame her
mother,
that she had never seen before, for leaving her. She had come to the
conclusion, that it had to have been a very good reason, and didn?t
think
about it much.
Queen Gaia and King Edward had decided that it was about time that their
eighteen year old son got married, but Prince Endymon refused to marry
some, and I quote ?airhead bimbo that only want to marry him for his
looks and money?
"I don?t understand why Mom and Dad want me to marry someone right now.
I mean I?m fine the way I am right now!!!" Prince Endymon said while
sword fighting with one of his good friends and generals, Malachite
(a.n. I am using the Dic names for the generals, cause it?s just easier,
and Zoisite and Malachite are NOT gay, k?)
"Well, you know that they are only worried about you and if you don?t
get married soon, you?ll turn old and wrinkly as a prune, and then *no
one* even if you are the Prince of Earth would want to marry you!!"
Malachite replied between blocks and blows.
"Heeey!!!! Your suppose to make me feel better not make me fear old
age!!!"
"Just trying to convince you to get married *soon*."
"Yah, well if I do get married to someone, I have to love them and she
better not be an airhead!!"
"Did your parents tell you that they?re holding a ball in five days and
all the available princess? and ladys? are invited?"
"WHAT?!?!?!?" the prince yelled, and stopped fighting.
"Yah, it?s like suppose to be one of the biggest balls of the century.
Don?t worry, it?s not in your honor or anything, it?s because the Sailor
Senshi are visiting Earth in search for the lost moon princess or
something......."
"Oh, the princess that Luna and Artemis have been searching for for the
last like fourteen years?"
"Sixteen years," Malachite corrected, "We better go inside now or else
the Queen is going to start yelling at you for being late for dinner."
"I know, you?d think that after you get to the age of eighteen your
mother would stop giving you a time to be home by.........." and with
that, Prince Endymon and Malachite went into the palace to get cleaned
up for dinner.
*************************
"Oh why do I have to go to the ball???" Serena wailed. She was
complaining to Sarah about having to go.
"Well, first of all, because your invited, and second, you will have a
chance to meet many handsome men." Sarah replied. They were in a cloth
store, looking for the right material to make Serena?s dress out of.
"I guess your right, and at least I get to get a new dress. Anyways,
what color do you think would be appropriate for the ball?" Serena said
while flipping through some selections.
"I think you should go with light blue, it will bring out the color of
your beautiful eyes."
Serena blushed at that compliment. "Thank you Sarah. Why don?t we ask
the lady in charge of this store for some suggestions?"
"Good idea. That will save us some time."
Serena approached a mid-aged lady, who was sewing quietly on a stool.
"Umm......excuse me, I don?t mean to bother you but I was wondering if
you have any suggestions for a light blue fabric."
"Light blue? Hm.....I think I have a perfect one for you." She led the
way to a back room that was filled with piles of fabric. After a little
searching, the lady finally found what she was looking for, turning to
Serena and Sarah, showing them the beautiful satiny cloth. Serena gasped
at how soft it felt, and immediatly felt that the cloth was made
entirely just for her. Sarah paid for the blue cloth as well as the
white one that felt like the same material.
"Well Lady Serena, me better head home and I will get a seamstress to
make your dress." Sarah stopped to look at Serena, it was as if she
hadn?t heard a word she just said.
"Serena, is anything wrong?"
"Huh? Oh, no I was just thinking. Do you think that anyone will ever
love me for who I am and not my looks?" Serena asked. The question
startled Sarah, because that was not the question that she was
expecting.
"Why of course dear!!! Why would you even ask that?"
"Because, I din?t think any of the Lords that have proposed like me for
who I am, but like me for what I look like."
"My dear, you are *very* pretty indead, but someday you will find the
perfect man who will love you for who you are on the inside."
"I guess your right, thanks Sarah." Serena replied, and giving Sarah a
big hug.
"We better get home or else Lady Carmella will start to get worried."
Sarah said, and they made there way home.
*************************
The next few days were *very* busy for Queen Gaia as well as all the
people in the palace. Everyone was preparing for th big ball the was
going to be held. Everyone was bustling around, making everthing
perfect.
On the day before the ball, they were finally finished with the
preperations, just giving the final touches. The Senshi was scheduled to
arrive that day though, and would be greeted by the King, Queen, and the
Prince. As the Senshi arrived, they were showed to their rooms, and were
told that there was a meeting in the Grand Hall. There, all of the eight
younger senshi, Luna, Artemis, King Edward, Queen Gaia, and Prince
Endymon met to discuss the princess.
"So far we have not found the princess, but my computer shows that she
is somewhere on earth." Sailor Mercury said.
"How old would she be now?" asked Queen Gaia.
"She is now sixteen years old." Luna replied.
"And how are you suppose to know if she is the Moon Princess or if she
is just a ordinary girl?" questioned King Edward.
"Well, we don?t have any device to tell us that it is definetly the
princess, but we know that she has blond hair and clear blue eyes-"
Sailor Mercury stated, but was cut off by Prince Endymon.
"There are millions of girls on earth that fit that description." The
prince snorted.
"Yes, but if you let me finish," Sailor Mercury said with a touch of
annoyance in her voice, "General Nephlyte has seen in the stars that the
Moon Princess *will* be attending the ball tommorrow, and Sailor Mars
here has also confirmed it through her fire. So tommorrow we will have
to keep a close eye out for the princess."
"Okay, then it is settled then, we will *hopefully* find the princess
tommorow, and celebrate your arrival tommorrow!" Queen Gaia said
cheerfully.
**********************
The next day, the Sailor Senshi pretty much stayed in their rooms to get
ready for the ball, hoping to find the princess, and meet some cute
guys. Serena was also getting ready, finally being able to see her
dress.
"Oh my gosh!!!! It?s.....it?s beautiful!!!!!"
"Well, yes, that *was* the effect I was going for." Sarah said with a
smile on her face. "You better get dressed so I can do your hair and
makeup."
Serena obeyed, and put on the dress. Sarah did her hair and added a
little makeup and jewlery. She told Serena to go downstairs and show
Lady Carmella what she looked like.
Serena walked down the stairs elegantly (with the help of the many
etiquette classes that she had took) and met Lady Carmella who was in
the living room.
"My dear you look absolutely breathtaking!!" Lady Carmella exclaimed.
Serena?s dress was sort of a halter top, tightly fitting, it was square
necked, and low cut. It hugged her waist tightly, then flowing out to
three layers. The bottem layer was lace, then the white fabric, then the
beautiful blue material that seemed to make her eyes sparkle even more
than usual. Her hair was put up into a high bun, with a little glitter
that sparkled, anda light blue ribbon that was tied around the blow,
matching the dress. She barely had any makeup on, just a little powder
and gloss that made her lips shine. She didn?t even need blush since her
cheeks were always rosy. The doorman led her to her carriage, as she sat
and waved to Lady Carmella and Sarah goodbye.
****************************
By the time Serena left her house, the ball had already begun, with
girls rushing about looking for the prince. Prince Endymon, on the other
hand was getting a little tired of his ?fan club?. He went outside to
get some fresh air, dodging all the girls that were searching for him.
As Serena arrived, everyone was already inside. Serena couldn?t find the
entrance to the ball, and decided to go the back way. She walked fastly,
hoping that she wasn?t *that* late. Obviously not seeing the step that
was in front of her, she tripped. She kept waiting for the pain of the
fall, but it never came. Serena looked up to see the eyes of an
*extremely* handsome man. She stood up, blushing so hard she knew she
probably looked like a tomato.
"Um... I?m really sorry, I wasn?t looking where I was going. Do you
happen to know where the entrance to the ball is?" Serena asked
nervously.
"Oh yah, I was just making my way back. I don?t think I have had the
pleasure of meeting you..........."
"I?m sorry, how rude of me!!!! My name is Lady Serena, and you
are........?"
He thought with an amused look on his
face. "I?m Lord Endymon." He decided to just use
lord since she *was* a Lady.
"Well, it was very nice to meet you, and thank you for catching me."
Serena said as they reached the door of the entrance.
"The pleasure was all mine." Endymon replied as her escorted her inside.
Seeing that Serena obviously didn?t know anyone there, he decided to ask
her to dance.
"Lady Serena, would you care to dance?"
"Why thank you!" Serena said while taking his hand, "and just call me
Serena."
As they stepped onto the dance floor, it was as if everbody parted for
them. The men jealous that th prince had gotton *another* pretty girl,
and the women jealous of Serena for snagging the prince for a dance.
"Ummm......Lord Endymon-"
"Please call me Endymon." Endymon said.
"Endymon, have you noticed that we?re the only ones dancing, and
everyone seems to be staring at us?"
"Of course, everyone is enchanted by your beauty!"
Serena blushed again, not asking anymore questions, afraid that she
would blush again.
Queen Gaia was watching them dance, as she smiled happily. She turned
to Luna and Artemis. "Do you two no who that girl is?" she asked. "No, I
don?t think that I have seen her before." Luna answered. "Do you think
that she can be the Moon Princess?" Artemis asked excitedly. "There is
only one way to find out." Queen Gaia said. She already had a plan, not
only to find out if she was the Moon Princess, but also for her son to
spend more time with the girl.
